Jen Hewett on Women of Color in Craft - Ep 23
This week on First Coat we have Jen Hewett. Jen Hewett is a printmaker, surface designer, textile artist, and author based in the Hudson Valley. Jen’s work combines her love of loud prints, 1970s maximalism, and saturated colors with the textures and light of the landscapes that surround her. She recently came out with her second book This Long Thread: Women of Color on Craft, Community, and Connection. In this episode we talk about her new book, her experience as an artist and business owner, and what's inspiring her right now.
